In Mer1orfan1.

Mis- Lucy Marion Flagg, of Plainfeld,
ILL.,, died after an illness of four or five days,
of pneumonia, Jan. 81, 1887, in the twentieth
year of her age. In the decease of this sweet
and lovely girl, our Universalist parish in
Plainfeld realizes the loss of one of its
brightest ornaments; and the lodge of Good
Templars, of which she was an earnest and
active member, mourn her departure with
equal sorrow. But her hold on the earth was
too slight for lengthy sojourn below, and
naught that our love and care could do was
sufficient to retain her any longer. SO frail
was her constitution, and so delicate her
feeling, that she shrank from the grossness
of this world and sought her peace and her
work in heaven. She derived knowledge,
sought understanding and delighted in truth,
as her mind unfolded rapidly in its compre-
hension. During the last few months of her
life, she lived daily under the influence of
higher sphere. She had learned to hate none,
but to love all, and to desire the good of all,
even as she believed in the final blessing of
all. Her last words we're, at is all right, I
am going to papa!' for she saw that her
papa, who is a dweller in the better land, was
in attendance to receive her. Her surviving
mother and her two brothers, and the aged
grandmother with them, though they know
that it is indeed well with their dear one, and
in the divine order all right, still feel the
pressure of an unutterable sorrow at her
sudden departure from the home in which
her presence was a constant light and cheer;
and life with them here is no longer what it
was. The funeral was held in the Universal
ist church on Sunday, Jan. %. The house
was densely filled with sincere mourners over
what was felt to be deep loss to the entire
community. A discourse was delivered by
the sorrowing pastor, with her departing
words for his text. I'M.
Departed the earth life, in the town of
Cheever, Dickson county, near Abilene, Kan
sas, Feb. Z, 1887, at the home of Oliver Ball,
ESQ.,, Mrs. Mary Brown, at the ripe age of 81
years and months. Mrs. Brown was the
widow of Rev. @. s. Brown, one of our below
ed clergymen who died in Cambridge, ILL.,,
several years since. She was a most estima- |
bic lady, exemplifying the spirit of her faith
in everyday life, and by her kind, loving ma
ture and modest department drew around |
her host of true loving friends. Since the |
death of her husband, her home has been |
with her daughter, Mrs. Oliver Ball, where |
she has received the most tender care that it |
was possible for loving hands to bestow or
kind hearts to feel. Without any apparent |
sickness or the sense of pain, not even con-
fined to her bed for any considerable length |
of time, she seemed to fall gently into the
sleep called death. The funeral took place |
at the house of Mr.. Ball on Feb. 9, the writer |
A. BARNES.
